Currently, the UFC offers cash incentives for "Knockout of the Night," "Submission of the Night" and "Fight of the Night." Typically, they are handed out after the event and announced by UFC President Dana White.

The changes will be in place this weekend when UFC on FX 7 goes down at Ibirapuera Gymnasium in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The event's main-card airs on FX following prelims on FUEL TV and Facebook.

1. It would be easier for most fighters to get taxes deducted immediately than to get a 100K bonus, spend it and then come up with the taxes in April when they possibly haven't fought and are eating ketchup in a gym loft.

2. It doesn't look good when a promoter hands out cash as it creates possible improprieties.

Who is to say you won't get a little more if you keep it standing Elite XC style?

I'm not saying Dana would but cash seems shady to most and especially when you are a billion dollar company talking about playing on a global level bigger than the NFL.

NFL players don't get cash after games in the form of locker room bonuses.

When they did it caused a whole team to get in trouble with New Orleans and bountygate.

Funny how cash bonuses for big and exciting QB moving hits were viewed as illegal bounties since they weren't on the books anywhere and in cash.
